Gordon Brown is a moron. Well, we knew that already, and I guess he does have a bit on his mind at the moment ... all the same, this one has got to rate up there with Obama's fight against the curse of privacy. Here's what Brown had to say at the D-Day commemorations:

"And so next to Obama beach we join President Obama in paying particular tribute to the spectacular bravery of American soldiers who gave their lives on Omaha beach," Brown said.


If you'd forgotten or somehow missed Obama's gaff, here's a reminder.

"And I want to be very clear that we are resolved to halt the rise of privacy uh in that region."
